My interpretation is that the change happened because Aya defended her publicly. If you compare it to Rhythm B, her friend then defended her at first but ultimately couldn't take the pressure and abandoned Mitsuki. Aya, on the other hand, not only was defending Mitsuki, but also understood immediately what was fucked up about it, and was ready to throw hands for her. For Mitsuki this has been building the entire time she's known Aya. Aya has been constantly confirming how much she likes Mitsuki as she is and wants her in her life. Chapter 74 was big for her when she really felt publicly not alone anymore, but there wasn't a conflict like the previous chapter. Seeing Aya defend her when she is in conflict with others is monumental for Mitsuki.

She not only comes in wearing what she wants, black nail polish like she wants, but she also mentions her uncle's store, her safe place, to the class. She's opening up in a way she never has before because Aya has made her feel safe.

I don't know if you're right, but I really like your thought process and I hope that IS how it is.

Oh.my.god okay XD That's definitely not what I expected. Let's see if Aya can deny her feelings now!

I had dropped this one for a bit cuz it felt like it was dragging but I picked a good time to check on it again I think. I would kill for half the rizz Mitsuki has.

Wish I was brave enough to dress androgynous for school. My mom had me thoroughly brainwashed.

I also made a weird sound.

I wore pants to school every day from when I was 13.
Unfortunately, it was not at all sexy.
I'm in Australia, so it was the school uniform. I mean, I couldn't dress sexy even if I tried generally in casual clothes, but in the school uniform, I just looked ... dorky.

Yeah, I think Mistuki pulls it off by being lean and tall and also wearing those pants super low lol

Being a fictional character made to look good helps a lot, or so I hear ;)

LET'S GOO KOGAA YESS
I can't scream but I made big movements sitting in my chair LOL

Kinda disappointed that she gave that cd to that jerk. Aya should get first dibs on her songs. Koga, you dumdum.

Nosebleed and a hug. Double-whammy!

direct hit

AHHHHH THE HUG

Even *other authors are excited.. Maybe we'll start moving into some real romantic progress for these two. We'll see. I especially would like to see into Koga's mind more. We haven't gotten her thoughts on their situation since very early on. How does she actually feel about Aya? We've been left to assume a lot with her. I'm expecting she'll explain the past week and maybe that'll lead into other introspections.

Koga is becoming more confident. Good for her :D

They make a stunning couple, I must say.

(Those last two panels suggest that whatever epiphany Koga had during her Lost Week, it had to do with realizing how important Aya is and has been to her.)

Well, I guess we'll see what she says next chapter, but it seems like what I was thinking was true. Mitsuki would have never gotten this comfortable with herself without Aya.

No, Aya.

Not all by herself.

Aya definitely played her part, a ton more than she probably even realize. I hope Mitsuki will be able to convey just how much she means to her.

One of the very rare "this person is so hot" nosebleeds in Japanese media that feels totally plausible lol. This act REALLY feels like it's a major change for the both of them, huh?

Aya.exe has stopped working.

Oh wow, the manga has been paced so slow lately, all this stuff feels like a breakneck pace. That said, I'm really enjoying Mitsuki's growth.

Oh my god I forgot this was supposed to be a Yuri progress has been so glacial, that hug hit like a freight train

While we know that Aya has a big crush on Mitsuki (mostly rizz version), the reverse is unclear.

Her seduction moves are mostly unconscious and she got close to Aya because she wanted a friend to share music, something she hadn't ever had.

So, I'd think that for now, Mitsuki's feelings aren't romantic in nature, but more like she found a soulmate and a pillar of support for her fragile ego.
